Foreword
The text of document 105/370/CDV, future edition 2 of IEC 62282-6-300, prepared by IEC TC 105, "Fuel
cell technologies" was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and approved by CENELEC as
EN 62282-6-300:2013.
The following dates are fixed:
(dop) 2014-01-05
• latest date by which the document has
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national (dow) 2016-01-17

standards conflicting with the
document have to be withdrawn

This document supersedes EN 62282-6-300:2009.
EN 62282-6-300:2013 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
EN 62282-6-300:2009:
a) The status of designs yet to be included in the standard is clarified.
b) Type A to D interchangeable connectors are updated, and Type E is added.
c) The procedures, criteria and figures of the type tests for interchangeable connectors are updated to
ensure they produce accurate and consistent results.
d) The fuel quality requirements are updated including the test procedures for residue and impurities.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 62282-6-300:2012 was approved by CENELEC as a European
Standard without any modification.

In the official version, for Bibliography, the following notes have to be added for the standards indicated:
IEC 61032 NOTE  Harmonized as EN 61032.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent cert
